Take rear seat off, remove the liner inside the trunk, and pull the remote cable next to gas tank.

what do you mean ? I think you will be able to recognize the cable that you are pulling from the trunk in to the cabin.

BTW you have to remove the backrest too . then just move the liner behind the backrest and you will have access from cabin to the trunk .

i dont want to run a new cable to the front. i was talking about taping into a exisiting cable that is activated by the ignitation. so i can use that to run the remote. i was thinking of taping into the amp but i cant figure out which wire is the one that i need to tap into.

oh , I see. I did it that way before but later on I decided to make it much more cleaner so I ran the cable to a fuse box .
